Back to EpisodesThe Black Knight Satellite — Dismantling the 13,000-Year-Old Space Myth
Description
In this episode of GL Deep Dives, Gorgorod takes apart one of the most persistent space conspiracies: the Black Knight Satellite — a mysterious object said to orbit Earth for 13,000 years, sending signals to humanity and watching our evolution from above. But is there any truth behind the legend?
We trace the myth’s strange origins, from Tesla’s radio experiments to Cold War tracking systems and NASA mission photos, showing how unrelated events were woven into a single, powerful modern myth. What emerges is a fascinating look at how space lore is born — and why people still believe the Black Knight is out there.
🎧 Space, stories, and the search for truth. No dogma, just deep dives.
